A Florida Sheriff's deputy has been placed on suspension with pay after making insensitive comments on Facebook in the wake of civil unrest in Ferguson, Missouri.

"Damn cockroaches! Squashem all !!!! I say we rally for Wilson, who's with me?" wrote Detective Richard Moon of the Wakulla County Sheriff's Department on his Facebook page.

Moon will remain on suspension pending the outcome of an internal investigation.

"Very insensitive remarks have been made and we're going to get to the bottom of it," Sheriff Charlie Creel told the Tallahassee Democrat. "I don't condone these kinds of actions. We treat everybody equally, and if somebody does not treat somebody equally, I will discipline them."
